Maher is a comedian...he'll make fun of Mormons ( which is very easy to do) and he'll make fun of the mainstream Bible thumpers ( which may be even easier to do) ...the joke is on you if you attempt to argue with a comedian...he'll be funny and you'll come out looking like a fool ( which is also very easy to do)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3e168b6bb3f78a71000037Garth OakeySun, 07 Aug 2011 00:37:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3e168b6bb3f78a71000037
After hearing this I have no credibility for Bill Maher who has simply lied about Mormonism. The true name for Mormonism is: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is Jesus Christ's Church and he is regarded as the Chief Cornerstone of the church and not just a prophet, but the savior of the world and the Son of God. The very first and foremost Doctrine of the Mormon Church or Church of Jesus Christ is: We believe in God the Eternal Father and in his Son Jesus Christ and in the HOly Ghost. As I said this is the very first and foremost doctrine of the Mormon Church.

I don't want to attack Maher, just exercise my prerogative, like he does here, to assert something.
He's wrong. I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (whom he calls "Mormons") and Jesus has been the "headliner" of every Sunday school lesson and talk and hymn I can remember. My own personal spiritual experiences depend on my faith in Jesus. Joseph Smith was a prophet, a messenger chosen by Jesus Christ to represent him, as are all other leaders of the Church. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and the only way we can get back to God. Christianity has wandered from its moorings, and Joseph Smith was called to restore things that had been lost. Those restored elements are the reason why people tend to classify us as non-Christians.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3bb4b9ecad042015000036Seth R.Fri, 05 Aug 2011 05:15:37 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3bb4b9ecad042015000036
Maher is a hypocrite.
It's not like he likes ANY of the religions - including Christianity. So what's with him acting like he gives a flying leap whether the US is more "Islam" than "Christian" or vis versa? Aren't they both just equally bad delusions in his book?
But I guess if kissing up to the Christian fundies is the price Bill Maher has to pay to reach the grand prize of making fun of Mormons, then it must all be worth it - right?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3aca47ecad043c51000022MattThu, 04 Aug 2011 12:35:19 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3aca47ecad043c51000022
As a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka the Mormon Church), I have to respectfully completely disagree with Bill Maher. He has it backwards. Describing it the way he did... Jesus Christ is definitely the "headliner" in our church. This is why his name is the name of our church. Joseph Smith is surely honored and revered, just as all other prophets such as Adam, Noah, Moses, Isaiah, and the prophet we have on the earth today, Thomas S. Monson. However, we do not worship these men. Any member of the church who would put a prophet above God is not following what we teach.
In 1842, Joseph Smith wrote a document we call The Articles of Faith, which are a brief description of our most essential beliefs and doctrines in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The first and foremost of these is: "We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost."
Completely regardless of what you think of Mitt Romney or whether you would vote for him, you should know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is certainly a Christian religion.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3ab3a8ecad044805000015unificationboardThu, 04 Aug 2011 10:58:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3ab3a8ecad044805000015
Hey, Bill. You don't have to wait for Mitt to play the "How dare you denigrate my religion" card. I'll go ahead and play it right now.
"Jesus is not the headliner"? ?Really? In the 35 years I've been going to church, Jesus has absolutely been the "headliner". Joseph Smith is a prophet who restored the TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST.
I wonder if Bill researched the Mormon church enough to learn that it's not really called The Mormon Church. Does he even know the NAME of the church he's saying doesn't put "Jesus as the headliner"?
And, no, Jesus is not 2nd or 3rd or whatever ridiculous placement Bill is saying Mormons put him. Interesting Bill doesn't try to name who would be first or second. It would be even more interesting to see HOW he would try to back that up. Too bad the host of the show has no interest in actually asking any real questions.
What a lying sack.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3a961f6bb3f76475000023Stan RockThu, 04 Aug 2011 08:52:47 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3a961f6bb3f76475000023
Check your facts then... Those above are about as much typical anti-mormon lies than I've ever read. Just because you were born in the religion doesn't mean you understand it. The fact your an ex-mormon which I figured tells me that you have an ax to grind.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3a667c6bb3f7e024000003TEPThu, 04 Aug 2011 05:29:32 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e3a667c6bb3f7e024000003

Joseph Smith = L. Ron Hubbard of the 19th century (except he loved to screw teenage girls and unlike Hubbard, designed his "religion" to brainwash/control women).
